The iMac in 5-10 years
Here here. Integrated graphics on a $1200 computer? You've got to be kidding me.
My thoughts exactly. Every time I buy an Apple product, a redesigned version ends up coming out three months later. If and when I get a new iMac, it will be when the new model comes out.
For me, I would really like the iMac to be more upgrade friendly just like the MacBooks. Easy way to upgrade hard drive and RAM would be nice.
Yes, please do!!! Haha... imagine doing that... naaat!
...it could also be a Canadian who edited it lol.
In the end it doesn't matter I guess, though I use British spelling. It's kinda like reading between the lines. I can get to know you're an American.
Anyway the iMac... gosh... I'm predicting 20 October.
OH - edit: I wonder how much they will drop the price by, in Australia, seeing the Aussie dollar is so strong at the moment.
1) Doubt it. Maybe on their top model, though.
2) I can totally see this happening.
3) Again, this is a good possibility.
4) I wish. But I wouldn't bet on it. At all.
This kinda news does make me reach at my bank balance with a slight semi in tow but ...
I dear god hope if this is true Apple got some preview of the new i7 processors - I sense a processor flop if its been 2 weeks in the making
Ill probs still get one

Hey, maybe next time they'll use an Intel Atom processor so it can be even thinner.
I'm tired of Apple's approach to the iMac also.
I purchased a Core 2 Duo iMac in late 2006. Apple has essentially made no advancements to this product other than minor processor speed bumps and a minor design revision since then.
It's become an upright notebook.

I jumped onboard in 2007 with the Aluminum design, and do not plan on upgrading until a quad-core iMac is introduced.
I agree it needs clarksfield, at least 4 memory slots, user upgradeable hard drive, they can do it on the MacBook why not the iMac?
#1- Agreed!
#2- That would be cool, but even if they don't change the design, I'll be happy.
#3- That's not standard? Wow... what do they think this is, a 13" notebook?
#4- I don't know if I'd like that or not, but maybe they should have an alternate stand that you can buy to mount your iMac. Just a thought.
I agree if it has to be fatter to include these things. Of course if it could include these things and be thinner too even better.
By the way everyone here who thinks Blu-Ray needs to be an option in all/any macs and have full support for it in the OS have you submitted your feelings to Apple?
I have please show your support:

I kind of hope they don't put Blu-Ray drives in the iMacs. People say that PC'S have been doing this for quite some time now. I agree with that. But remember Apple is always about being innovative and not following the heard. Optical disk storage is a very old technology. Hard Drive space is so cheep now and Flash memory prices are coming down everyday. I believe that these are the technologies to work with and i think that apple is thinking this way too.
The only place that i could see Blu-Ray making sense is in a mac used as a HTPC
Just my 2 Cents.

iMac Update
I would like them to go back to the desktop-class video cards like the GeForce 8800GS they used to use. I would also like the LED display like on the LED Cinema Display I have. They do both of those things, and that'd be enough for me, I'd sell my old 17" pro and replace it with a 24" iMac in a heartbeat.

Except bluray movies are way better quality than downloaded movies and they can be 50GB in size. So what moron is going to fill up their hard disk with 50GB movie files?
I hope they do put bluray in, it's pitiful that it isn't there already.
...just as hard for Apple to introduce FM radio on a Nano.
OT: Something i had on my mp3 player back in 2002 and that Apple manages to sell as news 2009. Just shows what image and marketing can do.
When will we be able to edit the playlist without using iTunes? The big news of 2010?
Regarding the new iMac, bring in the quadcores, I couldn't care less about Blueray. For offsite backups large USB sticks are so cheap I can't be bothered anymore to burn discs. And timemachine takes care of the day to day backups.
